Plot

Joseph is an unemployed widower, drinker, and a man stifled by his own volatile temperament. Hannah is a Christian worker at a charity shop, a respectable woman who appears wholesome and happy. When the pair meet, Hannah appears to be Joseph’s potential saviour, someone who can temper his fury and offer him warmth, kindness and acceptance. But as their relationship develops, Hannah’s own dark, painful secrets are revealed and as her home life spirals out of control it is Joseph that becomes the source of comfort. Written and directed by Paddy Considine, Tyrannosaur is an immensely powerful drama; impassioned, touching and disturbing in equal measure
